Old Man Dynasty Daily 1/10/24: In Which I Offer A Trade In Real Time
Introspection leads to action
Right now I am debating trading Triston McKenzie in the dynasty league in which I am, belatedly, in year six, finally going for it in 2024. The thing to know is that all starting pitchers are worth their weight in gold, until they get hurt, and 26-year-old starting pitchers are inherently very attractive until they get hurt. McKenzie is coming off a minor injury and I only traded for him in October because I loved him last year.
But this year? Would I rather have him or Devin Williams-plus? In asking the question, I answered it; the trade has been offered, and I’ll update you as to what happens. It’s McKenzie and Joey Votto (not dead yet!) for Williams and Josh Bell. I expect to be rejected. Stay tuned.
